Samuel is clearing out one of the empty shops in Kichijoji to use as a lab when he catches a flurry of wings and feathers out of the corner of his eye. He's not sure why he looks up, there are plenty of those odd Pidgey-chimeras around here, but look up he does. At first, he thinks that the winged animal headed straight for him is one of the chimeras -- but his face lights up, despite his confusion, when he realizes that it's an actual Pidgey. And what's more, as it comes even closer, he recognizes that Pidgey!
As the Pidgey closes the final feet between them, a collapsed Pokeball held carefully in its beak, he instinctively holds out his arm as a perch; the Pidgey lands on it, spits out the Pokeball into his waiting hand, and gives him an affectionate coo.
"Pidgey! I didn't expect to see you here, how are you?" Samuel deposits the Pokeball into his labcoat pocket with the others, and reaches his free hand over to return Pidgey's affection with a wing scratch. But then Rinoa got her 'dog'-creature back, didn't she? Angelo? So it's not the first time something like this has happened.
"Come on, I have to introduce you to everyone!" The cleaning can wait, as he gestures for Pidgey to hop onto his shoulder.
And as he walks around showing off his 'new' friend, one might spot the pair -- perhaps like Samuel, others might mistake Pidgey for one of the chimeric natives too, at least until they get closer and realize that it's all bird. (If they're familiar with Pidgey, either through personal experience or his drawings, they might even recognize the species!)
